8 More Weeks!

I only have 8 more weeks of school until FREEDOM! Can I get a "WHOO-HOO"!?! I'm so excited for this summer. No homework and Girls Camp! I went on our 4th year pre-hike/sleepover this weekend. We hiked six miles (3 miles uphill and 3 miles down). It was so much fun. I was great to get to know all of the girls that I'll be going on the hike with. But, I was kinda upset with the number of girls that showed up. There are supposed to be about 25 girls in my year level, but our numbers have drastically decreased to about 12. Why are they all leaving?! WHY?! But, I guess that's the reality of going on a two night hike. We're supposed to be going about 12 miles total with huge backpacks. But we'll have about two and a half days to do it. We should be fine. I'm so excited!

I have two presentations coming up in April. The two are for history and english. I need to get started on those! My problem isn't getting the information piled in the time limit. It's trying to make it entertaining that I have trouble with. I always seem to bore my classmates to death and I feel so bad. History and English is so boring though! AHH!!!

Oh, I still need to find a dress to wear that looks like Jane Austen.... ugh.

so busy

I thought that spring break was going to be relaxing.... WRONG!

Last week the family went on vacation to California and went to Legoland and Knott's Berry Farm. It was so much fun! But now, it's back to reality. I've got loads of work to do. With schoolwork and my YW medallion recognition night coming up here's a list of what I have to have done by Sunday.

1. take a picture of myself
2. create seven displays for each of my value projects
3. write a little "talk" about each of my projects
4. write what the Personal Progress program means to me and how it's changed my life
5. bake brownies
6. come up with a good time to have a Mia Maid presidency meeting
7. get started on making a dress for my English class
8. write two paragraphs for an essay in English
9. do 14 hours of community service by May 1st
10. get my hair cut and colored
11. get started on my presentation on Jane Austen (man, I have a lot of english homework to do!)

And last, but DEFINATELY not least:
12. I was just asked to give a talk on Sunday on "Magnifying Your Calling"

I have to get all this stuff done by.... SUNDAY???!?!?! That's impossible!!! AHHH!!!!!

It's March!

Ahhh.... March. I love this time of year. It's not to hot, but not to cold. But, not only do I like the weather, I like that it's so close to the end of the school year. Once it hits March/ April, everyone at school starts getting summer fever! Instead of paying close attention in class, kids are talking about their summer plans, the seniors are talking about college and their life after graduation, and everyone's just excited to FINALLY GET A BREAK!!! :D
Now, don't get me wrong, school's... okay.... But I wouldn't want to spend everyday there! Maybe it's just the homework that gets me all wound up. I don't know.

But, aside from all the homework, I have a really strong feeling that next year is going to be so much better and a lot more fun! It's probably because I won't be taking p.e., I'll have two choirs (my favorite class in the world), and all of my eighth grade friends will finally be freshman. Or it could be that I'll be turning sixteen and that means my Sweet Sixteen party and DRIVING, da, da, da!!! It's going to be great.

Wow. That seems to be all that I've been talking about lately... school next year. It's just so exciting for me! There's all these new friends to meet and new adventures to experience. Well, it's that, and the fact that I can't think of anything else to write about. Nothing has really happened in my life that's worth talking about.
My grandparents left about a week ago and while they were here, my Nana cooked so much, that I swear I gained at least 5 pounds. So, over rodeo break (which has been the last four days) I've been trying to watch what I ate. I don't know if I've lost any weight... but I've been feeling a lot better. I have my energy back finally! I've been trying to watch my portion sizes and how often I snack. So, hopefully, I can lose some weight... wish me luck! You all should join me! My mom, dad, Austin, and I have been keeping our own food diaries of all the food we eat each day. Then after a week, we can look back and see what we should change in our diets. Like, eating less junkfood or eating more vegetables.

I think that's about it. Nothing else is really going on other than homework... And I KNOW that you all don't want to hear about that. What a boring topic! Haha!
